For an industry steeped in a mythos of innovation and invention, the path towards reliable software is often obstructed by a web of fixed ideas. Fixed ideas, by actively obscuring alternatives, lead us to inaccurately the weigh the risks and benefits associated with our choices whether they be of an engineering, managerial or business nature. Alan Kay famously quipped that a difference in perspective is worth 80 IQ points but in this talk we'll see that it's worth considerably more than that.

GOTO is the enterprise software development conference designed for team leads,
architects, and project management and is organized for developers, by developers.
As software developers and architects ourselves, we wanted to craft the ultimate
conference.

The result is a high quality conference experience where a tremendous amount of
attention and investment has gone into having the best content on the most important
topics presented by the leaders in our community, staged in an intimate environment
needed to support as much learning and networking as possible.
